It depends on your worldview.

If you value community, society and loyalty, then what they did is bad.

If you value profits?/money?/greed?, then perhaps you are right.

Many would feel that reducing the world to no more than the efficacy of fiscal transactions and it all becomes worth pretty much nothing. There is so much more to life.

I do value profit and you should too. That's what motivates entrepreneurs to create new products and make economies thrive.

Speaking of profits/money/greed, would you also despise a person who cancels their Spotify subscription? Because it's the same situation in reverse – someone stops paying for somebody else's services. Would you blame such person for being greedy? Would you moralise them that there is much more to life than the money they'll save?
